Mars Attacks!

I have finished up a commission for a sizeable number of Mantic Miniatures' Mars Attacks! range.  The regular Martian infantry are not pictured here, as they were mailed back to the customer a while back. Pictured here are the humans, some Martian command and the Martian Science Division guys.  The clear plastic helmets are to be added by the customer.

If anyone is interested in having their Mars Attacks figures painted by me, I can paint figures to this standard for $3 a figure. Thanks for looking!

Reaper CAV miniatures

I painted these Reaper CAV miniatures for the Toys for Tots charity auction at this year's Fall In.  I used very simple techniques---masking, foam brush chipping, and washes--and tried for a weather-beaten, campaign look.  Enjoy!

The Amalgam War---Clash on the Fringe AAR

Here is a battle report of a game of Clash on the Fringe a weekend or two ago.  The setting is my own, the fluff background I intend for my own upcoming sci-fi game.  Earth is in the grips of an invasion by the Amalgam, a biological infestation that behaves like an invasive species in an ecosystem, before ultimately evolving into a full-fledged military force (think the Chtorr crossed with the Borg crossed with the Posleen). The models are a mix of Ground Zero Games, Ravenstar, converted Games Workshop, and Khurasan.  Pictures below.

All Quiet on the Martian Front

I'm painting some stuff as part of the Fall In Toys for Tots painting auction, and here's the first batch of stuff: US infantry and steam tanks for All Quiet on the Martian Front.  For anyone interested in commission work, I can do figures and troops to the standards photographed below for the following prices:
Infantry, $1.25 each
Steam Tanks, $12 each or three for $30 (I will assemble them for a small extra charge)

The Mk IIIs (left) are painted in a sort of faux-caunter/dazzle scheme; the tanks on the right (Mk IIs) have a simple green/sand camo pattern

Extermination Protocol: Nordic Weasel Games photoshoot

I've been asked by the illustrious Ivan of Nordic Weasel Games to do a photo shoot for his upcoming bug-hunt game Extermination Protocol.  Here are the results.  Infantry are Ground Zero Games US Army in Hardsuits; bugs are Ravenstar Miniatures Horrid.

Thanks for looking!

15mm painting tutorial

Here is a brief tutorial on the methods I use to paint.  The model is a 15mm Ground Zero Games figure, but I use the same system on 20mm and 28mm figures, and something similar for 6mm/micro armor.
